Problematic Mondeo ..115 PS Main Injector Pump needed

Howjoe1

I have a 2002 Mondeo Turbo Diesel Zetec. Trouble from the day I got it and have spent a fortune on repairs so far. Starter motor went a while back. Recently had to get the smaller injector pump at rear replace.

Other day it started to cut out. Mechanic tells me to scrap car because cost would not justify repairing. I'm told I need to replace the main injector pump for 115 PS engine.

Can't really afford to send to scrap heap. Finding it very hard to source part second hand. Can anyone help with part or advise if it is worth trying to fix ?

There has been a few huge threads over on honest john. Might be worth searching a few out

read something on there alright. seems a common problem for the 2002 model. Ford don't want to know about that.

Seriously expensive by all accounts. Maybe a replacement engine could do the trick

told that most dismatlers are not keen to strip part from engine to sell seperately.

Imagine 2nd hand engine even more expensive

howjoe where you based ?is your mondeo an early tdci modle or di .
did your mechanic get fault codes from the car when it broke down.
if your model is di when the main fuel pump goes down it normally never starts again ,if its the tdci model there are a few common problems on the early models alot of people arent familar with and there not that hard to cure once you have the nessary equipment .

Try Engine Remanufacturing in Castlebar, Co. Mayo - very cheap source of reconditioned fuel pumps. They can supply Ford pumps that don't need to be coded to the ECU of the car which can save you more by cutting out a visit to the main dealer.

Just as a heads up, the starter motor going is often a sign that the flywheel is on the way out on the TDCI models. How many miles are on it?

When the flywheel starts to break up pieces of metal dust get sucked into the starter and wreck it. Might not be the case with your car but its worth being aware of.

I am not 100% sure but i dont think this is the case with the TDI

tin,

had to have the flywheel replace last year after starter motor replacement didn't work (it went again because oof damage to flywheel which was not detected) . Disaster of a car.

Thanks for that but current problem is with the fuel injector pump

Ah so you have been through that already then. Just thought it was worth letting you know in case.
